Also notable IMO: he didn't come out and say "No, that's not the case." Not a denial - just hemming and hawing around how he hasn't made any public comment about the situation...

Whether or not they are specifically looking for an opt-out, I think they (Rodgers' team) are certainly looking for something unusual to guarantee that AR not only is highest paid the day he signs, but to guarantee automatic salary increases (or automatic renegotiations being triggered) ensuring he remains highest paid throughout the length of contract.

And I remain REAL leery of signing a deal like that. I know they'll get it done, but I just don't like the idea that one of our players' salary is determined by what other teams pay their players (i.e., whenever their guy gets a raise, our guy automatically gets a raise too).
